CAUTION: We are going to be talking about PROPANE HEATERS. I know this is like wearing a MAGA hat into a STARBUCKS to some folks. Use your own best judgement. If you use a propane heater and die, don’t be blaming me! You were warned! OK, with that out of the way, lawyers can stand
On another post I outlined the entire renovation of a 50 year old Maine Camper truck cap and then taking it on a 10,000 mile cross country , two month long trip. Along the way various “Parking Lot” modifications were made to tweak the usability of the camper. But there was one major modification that
Well, It’s done! Here’s the intro to this story. Over the years I’ve had four pickup truck campers. Two hard side and two soft side. My first “Soft Side” was really a “Soft Everything”! COX Campers made a small pop-up that fit in mini pickup trucks. Just like this but no chassis and wheels etc.

A few years ago I installed a rather involved solar system in my Forest River RR19 Toy Hauler travel trailer. Back then, with a single Lithium battery costing over $1000 I decided to go the AGM (Absorb Glass Mat) route. You can read all about this project on another article here on my web page:
A few years ago I decided that sleeping on the ground was no longer fun. Having spent some time in Australia a few years ago, I became aware of Roof Top Tents (RTT). Seemed every other car and truck had one on top! Once I returned home I did some research and found a “Used
The Roofnest Falcon is a great Roof Top Tent (RTT). When you purchase it, they include one handle. And it is a VERY nice handle. If you want or need more handles they are $40 each. Don’t get me wrong, they are worth $40 each as they are extruded or cast aluminum, anodized and beautifully
I recently totally reconfigured the solar charging system in my Forest River 19RR Grey Wolf toy hauler. I’ve replaced the PWM charge controller with an MPPT unit and added Renogy DC to DC 40A charger in the truck. Here is a video, in two parts, showing the updated system PART 1 PART 2 Be sure
